Allen:
I've started to do this myself. In addition, some of the RPMs that didn't
recompile cleanly on a stock Red Hat 6.1 system required that I go in and
make a few corrections in the .tar.gz source. These were minor
corrections, but get rid of many of the warnings when these RPMs
recompile. I would love to work with you on this and share any notes you
might have. I've docuemnted everything I've done, including exactly what
lines in what files I've modified, what the old code was and what the new
change was. even if I don't manage to get this done with the 6.1 release,
I'm sure the information will be useful for the 6.2 release and later.
Also, Chuck mentioned that they have an upcoming announcement on Jan 4th
about a project similar to this. I'm anxious to see what it is.
